RE: What are the rules for sockpuppets here?
@otter I'm inclined to say, "Don't be a dick," but that would eliminate most of the non-sockpuppet accounts, too.

RE: Gululu - The Interactive Water Bottle Tracker
@PJH What exactly does it track? Does it track the bottle's location? 'Cuz for $129, my biggest concern would be, where did my kid leave it when he ran off to play?

The Register asked Apple about its patent strategy, just because we enjoy the ritual of sending email and having it ignored.

"Don't you fucking dare Google, or I will run you through a goddamn woodchipper."
All of Google? I am now hoping that Google bombards you with Coldplay 24/7.

The effect that turns the can red is essentially the eye's internal automatic white balance adjustment.
There are also some sub-pixel level effects from your display; the image is less perceptibly red on a HighDPI screen.
Wow, yes. It definitely looks red on my phone, but I just looked at it for the first time on my 4k monitor, and I don't see any red, at all; the can is black&white.
Huh, now I do see the red, even on the 4k monitor, but I also notice direct vs. peripheral vision phenomenon @error mentioned. Maybe it's also related to eyes being tired in the late afternoon compared to mid-morning.

RE: Travel WTFs
@TwelveBaud said in Travel WTFs:
Virginia
The Cardinal (from Chicago) and the Southern Crescent (to Georgia) both start/end their journeys in Washington, DC. You can choose to have your layover in Alexandria or Charlottesville instead. I'd definitely recommend Alexandria over C'ville
I believe it was Charlottesville that was named on the Amtrak website as the place to change trains. That's what I thought I remembered, and now that you mentioned it, I'm almost certain.

RE: Today in reading the headlines...
@DogsB Today in :
International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centres
I.e., housing for asylum seekers. One of the centres had been a nursing home for elderly people with dementia, before they were kicked out to make room for the asylum seekers.
I won't comment further, because that's territory.
